- catalog abstract ""The first scholarly biography of Lord John Russell since John Prest, which was published in 1972, this work takes advantage of a great deal of documentation that was not available to Prest. This includes a number of archives in the United States, which he did not visit, and three large volumes of privately published family letters, to which he does not refer (not surprising, since they are not even listed by the British Library)." "Prest discounted Russell's career as being insignificant after his resignation in 1852, and he spent little time on his subsequent career. This work, in contrast, stresses the importance of much that Lord John achieved after that date. It is particularly revisionist in its stress on the importance of Russell's foreign policy during the years that he served as Foreign Secretary under Palmerston." "This biography also adds considerable information about Russell's private life, which has not appeared in any previous biography, much of it based in private letters not heretofore used by historians."--Jacket.".
